CAMP ELIAS ANGELES, Pili, Camarines Sur-Government troops was able to beseiged a terrorist’s encampment in the tri-boundaries of the towns of Del Gallego, Ragay and Lupi in Camarines Sur province, Tuesday, November 12.
According to the report, joint elements of 9th Infantry Battalion (9IB) and 1st Provincial Mobile Force Company (1PMFC) were conducting combat operations around 2 o’clock in the afternoon when they clashed with more or less 20 heavily armed members of Communist Terrorist Group (CTG) who were encamping in the area.
The firefight lasted for almost 30 minutes before the communist terrorists withdrew.
No one was harmed in the government side but still undetermined in the side of the enemies.
Recovered from the encounter site were seven landmines, sixty (60) rounds of 5.56mm service ammunition, two empty magazine for M16 rifle, four cellular phones, radio, projector, generator, two gallons of gasoline, three rolls of electrical wire, subversive documents, two backpacks, two sacks of rice, food stuffs and a box of chalk.
Joint Task Force Bicolandia (JTFB) under MGEN FERNANDO T TRINIDAD AFP said that the recovery of landmines in the enemy’s encampment only proves the CTG’s treachery and violation of the International Humanitarian Law (IHL) and the RA 9851 or the Philippine Act Against International Humanitarian Law, Genocide, and Other Crimes Against Humanity.
Gen. Trinidad also underscored that the Army in Bicol will relentlessly hunt the CTG’s by enforcing full military force against them.
This way, JTFB is confident that terrorists will have no other choice but to surrender and abandon the armed movement which only uses them to feed the mouths of its higher officials while they are exposed in helpless situations.
Hence, JTFB encouraged the terrorists to go back to the folds of the law and avail of the government’s Enhanced Comprehensive Local Integration Program (E-CLIP) and the assistance ready to be given to them by the Regional Task Force to End Local Armed Conflict (RTF-ELCAC) or Task Force Katuninongan asin Kauswagan.
